Abstract
An angularly adjustable vehicle mirror with vibration damping. A casing, adapted to be secured in a mirror housing, supports a mirror back member for pivoting by a mechanism within the casing. Two rigid projections from the casing have surfaces extending generally in the direction the back member moves when it pivots relative to the casing. Vibration dampers are carried by the mirror back member remote from the pivot point of the mirror. Each damper extends rearwardly of the mirror into contact with the surface of a projection to inhibit vibration of the mirror. The vibration damping members are rigid in the direction the mirror moves but are flexible or articulated for movement transversely of the direction of mirror movement and are biased against the surfaces in slidable, frictional, engagement.
